Notably, the top 100 addresses control about 25,386,774,392 XRP, currently worth $36.55 billion, representing roughly 41% of the token’s total circulating supply. Meanwhile, the changed addresses – wallets that recorded at least one balance movement within the tracked period – control about 12,601,767,626 XRP, valued at nearly $18.15 billion, which represents roughly 20.39% of the token’s total circulating supply.

What’s next for XRP price amid reduced demand from top holders?
Amid ongoing distribution from top holders, XRP has faced significant sell pressure above $1.50 over the past three months. For instance, the token dropped nearly 4% over the past 24 hours, trading at $1.45 on Friday, after a daily attempt to rally above $1.50.

As such, the token could continue to decline over the coming days and weeks, fueled by ongoing deleveraging, as Finbold explained, amid a notable sell-off from whale investors. However, if the top XRP holders resume accumulation, the token could enter a fresh bull run.
